Build your own hotel brand

Build your own hotel brand, with a firm that owns and runs one.

For owners who want their own name on the hotel, not a franchise. Spectra positions the product, creates the brand, supports design and construction, opens the hotel and, if you want, runs it under your brand through white label management.

Raht Hotels & Resorts is Spectra’s own brand, with estates operating in Udaipur and Himachal Pradesh.

What you get

What you get.

Five pieces of work. Take all of them, or the ones you need.

Product positioning

Who the hotel is for, what it offers them and what it charges, set against the market around it.

Brand and visual identity

The name, the identity and the guest experience that carries them.

Technical assistance

Design and layout reviews while the hotel is built, so that the building serves the brand.

Pre-opening services

Recruitment, training, SOPs and the launch.

White label management

Spectra runs the hotel under your brand, with its own systems and people.

How it works

From an idea to a brand that trades.

Three stages, one team throughout.

A property and an idea
A brand of your own
Stage I

Position

We define the guest, the product and the price, and give the brand its name and identity.

Stage II

Build

We stay with the project through design and construction, so that what opens is what was positioned.

Stage III

Open and operate

We open the hotel and can manage it under your brand, with marketing and revenue run by the same team.

Proof

We built our own first.

Raht Hotels & Resorts is conceived, developed and operated in-house: small estates, each taken by one group at a time.

An instinct for what the client needs, and the structure to see no detail is lost between vision and delivery.

Questions owners ask

The short answers.

Own brand or franchise: which is right?

A franchise brings a known name and its reservation systems, in return for fees and brand standards. Your own brand keeps the fees and the control, but you must build the demand yourself. Boutique and experiential properties often suit an own brand; larger city hotels often suit a franchise.

A clear position, a product that delivers it, an identity, trained people and consistent operation. Spectra covers all five: product positioning, branding, technical assistance, pre-opening and white label management.

Yes. Under white label management, Spectra operates the hotel with its own systems, SOPs and people, while the guest sees only your brand.

Yes. A brand can begin with one property and grow from there. Spectra’s own brand, Raht, operates two estates, with a third signed.

Yes. Raht Hotels & Resorts is Spectra’s own boutique brand, conceived, developed and operated in-house. Raht Manmatha in Udaipur and Raht Juneo Orchards in Himachal Pradesh are open.
